Prayer Circle connects you with friends, small groups, and churches to share prayer requests, commit to praying for one another, and celebrate when God answers! SHARE PRAYER REQUESTS Create detailed prayer requests with topics and descriptions. Choose who sees each request — keep it private, share with friends, post to a group, or make it public. Update your prayers as situations evolve so your community can easily follow along. COMMIT TO PRAY When someone shares a request, tap "Commit to Pray" to let them know you're interceding for them. See all the prayers you've committed to in one place so you never forget to follow through. ANSWERED PRAYER MONUMENTS When God answers, mark prayers as answered. They become Monuments — a growing record of faithfulness you can look back on whenever you need encouragement. It's your personal journal of how God has moved. GROUPS & SMALL GROUPS Create prayer groups for your Bible study, small group, or any circle of friends. Share requests privately within your group and grow together in prayer. CHURCH COMMUNITIES Churches can set up a dedicated space where members submit prayer requests for pastoral review before sharing with the congregation. Sensitive needs are handled with care and discretion. PRAY NOW SESSIONS Build consistency with focused prayer sessions. Set a timer, work through your prayer list, and develop a daily habit. Configure reminders to help you stay committed. BUILT FOR COMMUNITY Add friends, send encouragement, and stay connected to the people you care about.
